Contagion Infected Human Zombies, Head Strikes and High Fantasy – so it begins

Here are the first three unique elements I've come up with for my Zombies in Fantasyland campaign. Here you'll find a new attack method: The Head Strike, the Contagion Infected Human Zombies themselves and The Contagion. Speaking of which, I really need a name for this campaign and the world in which it takes place. I've taken a long hard look at the systems I'd like to develop this for and I've decided to go with D&D 3.5, which also follows the d20 SRD standard available here. 4th edition had far to many limits and would require massive house rules just to be worth playing in. 3.5 has a great base system from which I can work to develop this.

Zombies in Fantasy land initiative takes a big bite out of my life

A while back I mentioned my Zombies in Fantasy land campaign initiative. Since then, I've been letting the ideas percolate in the back of my mind while I take care of real life. That percolating has done a lot of good. I've come to a few decisions about this and am now starting to amp up the creative output. I'd love to hear your thoughts on any of the below points. Or on anything to do with zombies and fantasy RPGs.

Tron: Evolution screenshots and video of the newest Tron based video game

Here are the first few screens and a trailer video from Disney's up and coming Tron movie based video game. Tron: Evolution. Looks neat but I don't know if it would ever replace the stand-up console Tron game I played back in the 80's. At least for nostalgia.

Dragon’s Lair for the iPod touch/iPhone video.  This looks awesome!

I have very distinct memories of burning quarters at the arcade on a new kind of video game which featured not computer graphics but gosh darned actual animation.  Dragon’s Lair made a huge splash at my local arcade and people lined up to jam that joystick to the left, the left! The LEFT DAMMIT! Now [...]

Scribblenauts Holiday wishes (wallpaper worthy)

To ease back in to things I thought I'd post an image sent to me by the Scribblenauts PR machine, which I actually find quite nice. It doesn't hurt that Scribblenauts is the only game I'll currently fire up on my DS too. Here's the full sized version in 1650 by 1050(ish) resolution.

What to do when your PC’s go somewhere you hadn’t planned

I’ve found that it’s really impossible to account for even half of exactly what your party will do.  Oftentimes they don’t mean to go off narrative they just didn’t realize which direction you had intended them to go.  There’s nothing wrong with this, but you do have to be prepared.  Just because the party has [...]
